Some how I'm thinking this knowledge is from RRR to some degree but at the same time this is a real thing in hunter and gather groupsAs he said, he'd be delaying the whole merchant group and depending on their schedule it could get tight with entering the next city.
Forfeiting that profit might seem unfit for a merchant, but prioretizing the group's time over his additional profit (he's just a guard after all) should give a good impression
He can just hunt at the next destination.
Taking the wolf meat is only worth considering if it's a multi-day trip (which tbf it most likely is) and only if they have a cook and a dismantler in their group (and having a dismantler in their group is unlikely, unless they have a combatant in their group already)
Considering the villagers treated the wolf meat as a delicacy, it's not wolf meat like we know it here on Earth; Even if it just ends up getting sold off, it'll be worthwhile. Similarly, the hides were very valuable, especially in a pristine or mostly-pristine condition as he's able to get them. The Merchant, if nothing else, should have claimed them as his own bounty given that they attacked his caravan and MC was acting as guard, and then graciously given at least some of the meat to the guards through meals. As for "only if they have a cook"... Pfft. Even if it's just roasted over an open fire or tossed into a traveler's pot with some water and root vegetables or other ration-type ingredients, they can easily cook it themselves. Doesn't need a specialist to do that.He can just hunt at the next destination.

Only reason H-G groups would not stop to harvest a bounty like this is if they were at capacity and unable to rig up a travois or similar to carry the carcasses. In our case, we have a wagon so light on items that there is room for multiple people to do wacky stunts like leaning way out while two others grab his legs to keep him from falling; it would be solely a positive to take them.Some how I'm thinking this knowledge is from RRR to some degree but at the same time this is a real thing in hunter and gather groups
Look at chapter 4 page 21 and 22, changing jobs gives him a mantle.been a long while, but I doubt that his appearance changed. Are you sure it wasn't just his aura that changed?
fwiw, unicorn-horned rabbits in anime/manga are based on the almiraj, which is a folklore rabbit that's been around a lot longer than the jackalope:I begin to wonder just what evolutionary mutation(s) didn't happen in our world that did happen in so many others that allowed Horned Rabbits to become a thing. Styles may vary from one series to the next, but they're essentially all just "take the concept of a Jackalope, but instead of antlers give it a unicorn horn."
isn't the point that he seems to be the only 'job hopper' ? i think it'd stick out too much if his outfit changed everytime versus his 'knowledge' or so versus "i'm going into a fight so i'm putting on this robe for armor"been a long while, but I doubt that his appearance changed. Are you sure it wasn't just his aura that changed?
it doesn't seem like a waste unless he thinks the city's outskirts would have a ton more monsters to collect parts at his leisureYeah, seems really silly considering how much they were worth before. Plus, they can use the meat for the next several meals instead of relying on rations.
I feel it is sorta like a hivemind, but without the No free will part. When a youngling needs knowledge the old job holders, a part of them that exist in the skill, awaken and start passing knowledge on till they don’t need to actively ‘teach’ the youngling.I like the idea of "collective intelligence" of the human race. It's not exactly a hive mind, but the accumulation of history that civilization has built up into an instantly accessible knowledge you can tap into.
It's like a psychic internet, but heavily specific to a type of knowledge.
What happens when the collective knowledge is wrong though? Does it make the job knowledge also faulty? Pretty sure we believed a lot of nonsensical things just through mob mentality. In fact, we still do.
Yeah, it's a unique twist on the overused skills and job systems trope. Usually, it's just chalked up to the divine bestowing those abilities. But the concept of the skills depending on the collective knowledge and intelligence of humanity as a whole is kinda special. The skills and jobs would be useless without the knowledge accumulated by those who never had the privilege of being job holders.I like the idea of "collective intelligence" of the human race.
